Cheap food for the masses. Problem is this fast growing stuff has no taste or tastes like cardboard.

very similar to what happened to lumber.

when you remodel an old home / building and start digging into the old framing, the difference in the wood's characteristics from today's lumber is staggering.

it has color, smell, substance, tight rings, finer grain etc...

by comparison, its amazing the lumber of today can do half of what old growth timber could.

But I certainly prefer it being farmed than harvested from natural settings.
